When it comes to making sauce, gravy, or other liquid foods, the saucepan is your go-to. Its high, straight sides lend themselves well to frequent stirring or whisking that comes with making sauces, limiting spilling. And the smaller surface area holds heat well and limits evaporation. As part of our d5 stainless collection, this saucepan is made with our patented process that bonds 3 layers of stainless steel with 2 layers of aluminum. It distributes heat more evenly and slowly, eliminating hotspots, so your food doesn’t stick or burn. For an added touch of style, it has a timeless brushed finish that adds a bit of texture and refinement to your kitchen and is easier to clean. The 1.5-quart saucepan is just right for personal, delicious sauces. The 2-quart saucepan is just right for a small stew. The 3-quart saucepan is just right for making sauces, heating liquids, cooking food in liquids, and reheating. And with the 4-quart saucepan, it’s big enough for those no-fuss one-pot meals and leaves you with enough for the next day's lunch. To keep your all-clad looking brand new, we recommend washing your cookware with soap and a sponge instead of the dishwasher. Bonded, engineered, & assembled in the USA.
